Assessment comments

The mixed test and the problem-solving tests constitute 90% of the grade. The evaluation of the laboratory practices and through ICT, together with the short answer test, constitute the remaining 10%.

Description of the evaluation and distribution of points.

FIRST OPPORTUNITY

A) MIXED TEST:

  • It will consist of two midterm exams of 6 points (maximum) each. In order to pass the course, a minimum of 3 points must be obtained in each one. Once obtained, the grade of the mixed exam will be the average of the grades of both midterm exams.
  • If any of the midterm exams are not passed, the student will have the opportunity to pass them in the final exam (1st opportunity).

B) PROBLEM SOLVING:

  • It will consist of a set of tests with a maximum combined score of 3 points, with a minimum of 1.5 to pass the course.
  • If the tests are not passed, the student will have a problem-solving exam on the same date and time as the final exam (see section A). This exam must be passed in order to pass the course.

C) LABORATORY/TIC PRACTICES:

  • It will consist of a set of laboratory and computer simulation (ICT) tasks with a maximum combined evaluation of 1 point, with a minimum of 0.5 to pass the course.
  • If the assignments are not passed, the student will have a laboratory exam at the date and time established by the center. This exam must be passed in order to pass the course.  
FINAL GRADE: If all three parts (A, B and C) are passed, the final grade will be the sum of them. In case of failing, the final grade will be one half of such a sum.

Additional work (optional): the student who has passed the course will have the option of voluntarily submitting a written work whose content and length (no more than 20 DINA4 pages, single spaced, New Roman font size 10 or similar, with margins of 2 cm on each side of the page) will be determined by the theory professor. The score for this work (1 point maximum) will be added to the FINAL grade indicated above (to be reduced if the maximum of 10 points is exceeded).

Detection of plagiarism or copying of works: the fraudulent performance of the tests or evaluation activities will directly imply the qualification of failure '0' in the subject in the corresponding opportunity, thus invalidating any qualification obtained in all the evaluation activities for both the second and advanced opportunities.

SECOND OPPORTUNITY

The grade obtained in the laboratory practices and problem solving will be maintained. The grades of the mid-term exams of the first opportunity will not be maintained. As in the case of the first opportunity, the mixed exam will consist of two midterm exams of 6 points (maximum) each. In order to pass the course, a minimum of 3 points must be obtained in each one. Once obtained, the grade of the mixed exam will be the average of the grades of both midterm exams. In case of not having passed the practices or problem solving, the student will have at his/her disposal the corresponding exams (similar and with the same conditions as those of the first opportunity).

Students enrolled part-time or who have been granted the academic waiver of exemption from attendance, as established in the "Norma que regula o réxime de dedicación ao estudo dos estudantes de grao na UDC" (Arts. 2.3; 3.b; 4.3 e 7.5) (04/05/2017), will take the same evaluation tests as students enrolled full-time. He/she will have the option to take a lab/ICT practicum exam at each opportunity.

The evaluation criteria contemplated in Table A-II/1 of the STCW Code, and included in the Quality Assurance System, will be taken into account when designing and carrying out the evaluation.
